(b)
To determine: The mechanism to show the interchange of protons between ethanol molecules under base catalysis.
Interpretation: The mechanism to show the interchange of protons between ethanol molecules under base catalysis is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Catalysis is defined as the phenomenon which increases the rate of chemical reactions. The rate of reaction increases due to the substance which is added during the chemical reaction and that chemical substance is known as a catalyst.

- Please correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forwardPlease correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forwardThe SN 1 mechanism starts with the rate-determining step which is the dissociation of the alkyl halide into a carbocation and a halide ion. The next step is the rapid reaction of the carbocation intermediate with the nucleophile; this step completes the nucleophilic substitution stage. The step that follows the nucleophilic substitution is a fast acid-base reaction. The nucleophile now acts as a base to remove the proton from the oxonium ion from the previous step, to give the observed product. Draw a curved arrow mechanism for the reaction, adding steps as necessary. Be sure to include all nonzero formal charges.
